Thanks to Dr Thomas Blinn who pointed out the file
/usr/sbin/cluster/clu_common.ksh with the parameter MaxSwapPartSize. I
modified this parameter and was able to set swap to any size.

Original question:

> Is there a limit to how much swap space is created when a new boot member
is
> added? I've create a couple of boot members with large disks (20gig) and
> swap was created at 8gig. I thought that the boot members root partition
> would take some space and the cnx partition would take a little bit and
then
> the rest of the disk would be allocated to swap. The disk I used was
> unpartition when I created the boot member. Would that cause a difference?
>
> I know it is better to have swap spread across multiple disk, but these
disk
> were created all ready so I used them. If I partitioned the boot member
disk
> before I create the boot member fix the problem?
